News Summary

• Xbox CEO Asha Sharma hinted that the company will have to get creative in order to make the next console generation something fans can still buy into.
• She said one of her main jobs right now is to figure out what trade-offs to make so that Project Helix can succeed in a world where components are going up in price exponentially rather than down.
• Exclusives are a priority, but also something that costs the platform on the publishing side, forcing her team to be somewhat stingy about holding games back to prop up the Xbox console ecosystem.
